Spring Song

I've not been on here for awhile, but I need to do the traditional thing. Maybe, that will get me blogging again.

 

It was a slightly blustery day, but the sun was shining bringing joy to our hearts. As we walked around  the yard,  we saw the beginnings of spring and had to sing.

 

This is our semi-Australian version. (It's my first time doing a video. You can tell.)

March Madness

Many people think of March and the NCAA basketball tournament. But here on Glen Court, we have another kind of March Madness. Yes, for all of you followers, we have the song! And here it is!

Performed March 11, 2012

This year, the classic was performed by the Morgan Glen duo, "The Paschals" with back-up by many of our bird friends. (Stay tuned for our first album.)

I know a little pussy

Whose fur is soft and gray

She lives down in the meadow

Not very far away

She'll always be a pussy

SHE'LL NEVER BE A CAT

Cause she's a pussy willow

Now what do you think of that!

It can never get old, can it?

Since last year, the pussy willow has been cut back. Actually, I cut it down. But, it grew back. With a vengeance. I'm going to have to thin out some of the growth. Also, last year, after cutting it down, I purchased a replacement.  It hasn't shown any growth. But, I have hope.

Enjoy the spring.

The Tradition continues

The tradition continues.
Sang March 19th, 2011.
If you would like to sing along, you can.

I know a little pussy.
Whose fur is soft and gray.
She lives down in the meadow.
Not very far away.
She will always be a pussy.
SHE WILL NEVER BE A CAT.
Cause she's a pussy willow.
Now what do you think of that?

A Trio of Troubadours

The Pussy Willow

The classics just never get old.

A Spring Tradition

I know a little pussy
Whose fur is soft and gray
She lives down in the meadow
Not very far away
She will always be a pussy
SHE WILL NEVER BE A CAT
Cause she's a pussy willow
Now what do you think of that

Sang March 21st in front of the pussy willow.

You can sing it too just for fun.

Since last week, I have finished 18 flats of seeds that I am starting for the gardens. Tomatoes, peppers, and a number of flowers. Michael and I went to Worms Way to buy some new lights for the fixtures in the basement. Although, it appeared that the fixtures were worn out. Several of the lights wouldn't light. So, I went and bought new fixtures. After I wired them up, everything seems to be going OK. The very next day that I set everything up, some of the flowers were sprouting. Today (3-16-09), most of the varieties have some of the seeds coming up.
I plan on redoing 'my' flower bed this spring. The whole works. Replacing the timbers around the bed, adding more soil and mixing it up. I will remove a couple of the plants and move them to the bed on the side of the drive way.
Later on this week , I am going to pick up the rest of the leaves in the yard and prepare to put down the crab grass killer. Spring is here!!

Mom and I decided that there is money for her to go to her 40th high school class reunion. Its at a bad time - mid April. So, she will be flying off to Columbia for the week end.

Everybody enjoy.
